What if there had been a real fire? Children being taught not to trust their teachers. You're right, so bad for kids. My daughter loved school and loved most of her teachers, now she's at uni doing great. I on the other hand, a born in JW, hated school, no surprises there. Those poor children.

Troubling experience at 1 day assembly re: little jw child
by williamhconley injust had my 1day assembly this weekend.
an experience given by the bethel speaker was quite troubling and shows how jw's live in constant paranoia, anxiety and they isolate themselves from normal living.. a first grade class was having a fire drill.
everyone ( except one) lined up and stood outside away fron the classroom in the grass.

Mmm well I can't see any news items yet about it but there may be, people do like to send photos in to newspapers. It was three hours after sunset so I don't know what caused it but very pretty pink/red clouds.

How The Governing Body's Jealous Imaginary Friend/Corporation Sock Puppet Is Really Screwing Up Their Decision Making Capacity As CEOs Of The Watchtower Corporation
by frankiespeakin inlook at the recent videos that this bunch of old out of touch with reality governing body has spent time and money(corporation assets) on.
telling the deaf how disqusting jehovah finds looking at you masterbate(clearly a sign of some sort of childish magical thinking) and the one where they throw a little tots gift toy in the garbage because jehovah(corporation's sock puppet) don't like magic, making the the poor kid feel like he will shrivel up and die of old age like adam & eve did at 900+ years old, if he don't hurry up and get rid of that cheap plastic wizzard toy that might perhaps be demonized or something.. i'm telling you guy these guys are trapped into making bad decision because of this imaginary friend.
expect much more in the way of infantile decision making from these delusional individuals.

That special feeling just seemed to have passed me by. I just never felt good enough. Maybe it's a y chromosome thing in a patriarchal religion.

I loved the idea of living forever in paradise. I loved the idea that God was going to feed the hungry, end painful illnesses, end wars and give everyone a roof over their heads. I was young and I knew nothing about the world because I was discouraged from reading and my parents had little formal education.
The elders (so my husband told me) just fought one another for power in their meetings. My husband, when he was made an elder thought they would be talking about how to help the brothers who were ill or depressed! Not at all they were too busy fighting to visit the sick and they just dismissed the brothers who were depressed as nutters.
Panthers, I pioneered for ten years and my husband pioneered for fifteen. At one point I told the CO I might have to stop because I was so ill. He got his wife to work with me in FS and encourage me to continue. I told her I was tired all the time. She said 'I'm tired, the CO is tired, we're all tired but we just have to keep going.' That was over thirty years ago Panthers, goodness knows how tired they are now waiting for that New System. You are young, you don't know what's really going on in this religion. If you care about truth then why don't you read Crisis of Conscience and see what happened in Brooklyn Bethel in the eighties? The truth can't hurt you can it?

Regional Convention Program Posted
by kneehighmiah inhttp://download.jw.org/files/media_books/b8/co-pgm14_e.pdf.
i think i will want to kill myself during the friday afternoon symposium.
it should be called "how to not enjoy life or have fun.".

Thanks Kneehigh this will have to go to the JW friend who has recently started writing to me. Everything else has failed, even mentioning Candace Conti. I will tell her I downloaded it straight from JW.Org which I have just checked it is very easy to do. Just put 2014 convention in the search box and the program comes straight up. That symposium on what must be kept in second place just blew me away, thanks.

Hi and welcome solitairelife. Yes that's why advertising agency use jingles in their tv adverts. Bet you can remember plenty of those from decades ago. Words set to music go in and stay in. All part of the cult process.
